Itinerary

Day

Enjoy a first leisurely day at sea, getting to know the ship and your fellow passengers.

Day

Marco Polo moors in the exquisite French port of Honfleur, gateway to the beautiful Normandy countryside, at the mouth of the Seine. Explore this favourite retreat of the French Impressionists, with its harbour surrounded by gabled houses. Perhaps venture further afield on an excursion to Monet's idyllic house and garden at Giverny or to fashionable Deauville.

Day
4

Marco Polo arrives in Harwich, where you'll disembark after a wonderful weekend break. (An optional coach transfer back to Cardiff will be available to book for a supplement.)

Life on board Marco Polo

In an age of vast, impersonal, floating hotels, 22,000-tonne Marco Polo, her profile marking her out as the epitome of sea-going elegance, is a beautiful ocean-liner in the classic tradition. Offering high levels of comfort and a genuinely warm welcome, Marco Polo offers everything you'd expect of a high-class vessel.

Cabin Details

Marco Polo's passenger cabins all offer private facilities, satellite TV, telephones, hairdryers and personal safes. Your cabin will be looked after by an attentive steward, who can also arrange cabin breakfast service, room service (10am to midnight), and laundry and ironing services. Outside cabins offer portholes or larger windows.

Dining Details

The ship's main dining room, the Waldorf, is a haven of understated elegance, where friendly and attentive waiters ensure that each meal is a special experience. Poolside Marco's, the ship's more casual location, is every bit as enjoyable, whether you're sitting down for an early breakfast, a relaxed lunch or for a less formal evening meal.

Activities Details

There's always something happening on board Marco Polo. During the day, if you haven't taken a shore excursion or headed off to explore, the Cruise Director and the team will always have something planned. Look out for the Daily Programme in your cabin. Each night there's a glittering show in the theatre lounge, music in the piano bar, dancing at Scott's and so much more to fill your time until you decide to turn in.
